Here in after shall be referred to as my client. On the 21st of April 2004, my client, his wife and their only daughter were involved in a car accident along Nouvissi express Road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to the embassy here to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts,I decided to track his last name over at the Togolese Chamber of Commerce and Industry, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you. I'm contacting you to assist in repartrating the fund valued at US$11.5Million ( Eleven Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only)left behind by my client before it gets confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Bank where this amount was deposited. The said Bank has issued me a notice to provide the Next of Kin or have his account confiscated within the next twenty one official working days.Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for almost two years now, I seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin to the deceased since you have the same last name, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you with immediate effect. Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the sharing ratio and modalities for transfer.I have all necessary information and legal documents needed to back you up for the claim. All I require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.Waiting for your swift response.Best Regards,Edward Okeke,Esq.
